Sad. And Mad.

I have no idea how this happened. I have been working off and on for a week now on a baby quilt to donate to Haiti by Hand. I have put so much thought and time into this little thing, prayed for the people of Haiti while I was sewing, and put tons of love into it. So you can imagine how bummed I was when, after hand-stitching the binding on, and washing and drying the quilt, I discovered a tear in it.

The only thing I can figure out is that I nicked it with my scissors or it got snagged on something in the washer or dryer. I pulled it out of the dryer this morning and took pictures of the warm cuddly little thing, and as I was folding it up I noticed the hole. It's a teeny little tear that can be patched, and that's what I plan on doing. I'll drop the price and hopefully someone will still love it - especially since it's for a good cause. I'm hoping that sweet Rebecca can get it listed tomorrow.

I know that must really stink but honestly when you told me about it, I was picturing a much bigger hole. The quilt is beautiful and a patch will just give it a little more character...Right? Someone will still love it very, very much!

I'm not a regular here, but if that little hole had a heart stitched over it, to symbolize your loving care for the Haitian people, I think it might get more rather than less. It's beautiful, and you are quite amazing!
